Statewide Criminal Records Search

Overview

The Statewide Criminal Records Search scans criminal records at the state level, in a state of the employer’s choice, and returns records that have been passed along to state-level courthouses. It accesses sources such as the State Judicial Court System, State Police, State Department of Law Enforcement, or the Administrative Office of the Courts. Records returned include infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies, such as DUIs, DWIs, assault, theft, and burglary.

Results are guaranteed to find all records within 7 years, but may also find older records that are readily accessible.

Ordering

Alerts:

If there are any records that match the candidate’s name and date of birth, they will be displayed in the results tab of the Statewide Criminal Records Search. Each record displays the record source and offender details.

Clicking “Show More Details” at the bottom of each record will expand the record to display the offenses attached, with each offense record containing substantial information about offense type, date, and outcome.
